Simon Says: Wrap it up!

Lots of wrapping in December, so when I noticed the 

challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Blog,

I just had to enter it:

"Wrap it Up!"

This time I stamped my own wrapping paper and made a matching card.

I used the Stamptember 2017 Tim Holtz stamps. I love them

an the matching stencil that came with it.

This is the finished package, but below 

I have some stamping stages to share.

I have this lovely kraft paper with a gold shine,

perfect for the Holidays. I started stamping with two

tones of brown and the woodring stamp.

Next I used these stamps with brown, green and red

oxide distress inks.

The woodsie is also perfect for a label.

The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz mini handwitten

holidays stamps CMS211.

For the matching card I used the same stamps.

The background is stamped with the woodsie

and I added some stars fromn the stencil in the sky

with a little sparkle added.

On the bottom you also see part of the stencil.

The background paper is a pice of Stampin'Up!

design paper I found that matched nicely.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Paradise Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly Club Scrap blog hop.

This month the kit is called Paradise.

I hope you have arrived here from

Jennifer's Blog

and seen her beautiful artwork.

If you happen to loose your way,

you can find all participants of the hop

on the Club Scrap Blog.

Here is  surprise for you...what's in the bag?

Yes, I started with making a bag from printing out

the leaves design from the digital Paradise kit

on copy paper. Not on the heavy cardstock.

This is not good for folding and wrapping is usually thrown away.

I found on Pinterest how to make the bag

and by looking at this picture it was easy

to copy how to make a bag.

For decoration I used one of the cut

aparts from the paper kit. The flowers are

punched out and a few gemstones are added.

Closing the bag with a bookclip from my stash.

I have been playing with food jars (I have lots!)

and that is what  had to be wrapped up.

I started with making a snowblobe.

Using two pictures and glueing them back to back.

I laminated the picture, leaving a bottom

of an extra half an inch.

The lid of the jar is decorated with a border from 

the cut aparts from the paper kit.

The leaves from the rubber stamps are stamped

with dark green ink and colored with a water brush.

The picture is cut in 3 parts. The middle part

folded to the back and the two outside bits towards the front.

I used hot glue to fasten the picture to the lid.

Before adding the picture I added some

gold glitter inside the jar.

Here the decoration I added on the fron of the jar.

I must say it works best with hot glue to stick

everything to the jar.

The other jar I used to make a hanging element.

Make a hole in the middle of the lid for the ribbon

and print a picture. Oh my there are those boys again!

The picture is decorated with flowers that

were cut out after stamping and fastned with little

yellow brads from my stash. Rolling the picture

and taping beginning and end together.

At the top make some cuts  for glueing it 

on the lid. Through the lid you see the ribbon

that holds one of the buttons that came with the kit.

This is so that the ribbon won't fall through.

On top the parrot ( I thought this is quite appropriate:

they make a lot of noise all together), leaves and

flowers. The jungle is here!

But these boys are a bliss too. Love them to bits!

My last project is a card. This kit has such

happy colors it is perfect for a birthday card.

I used this sketch challenge for November

 from a Dutch stampgroup.

And colored my imgages with watercolor and a paintbrush.

Also this card qualifies for the last day

of the 30 day color callenge for 

The Daily Marker Blog.

Do you see that fun pinapple washi tape? I found it

today and could not resist using it on my card.

The flowers are punched out .

Well, this was my contribution,

but there is more. Go over to

Pam's Blog

and see her vision of Paradise.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Cinema! Blog Hop

This is the  Club Scrap Cinema! collection

of August 2014. Did you get your pizzabox delivered?

So it is time to hop and see what fun project

you can use the papers and stamps for.

I hope you came over here
from the wonderful Tricia,who always has
 such efficient ideas on her blog HERE.

I love this new kit, for my DH and I very often go to

the Cinema, just not always.
So sometimes we just have to do with a dvd. 

As it was  his birthday this week I gave him
a dvd and of course had it nicely wrapped

and added some popcorn just for the fun

of having a great evening.

So now YOU want to know how I made this

dvd wrapper? Well, here come the instructions:

Take one of the 12x12 papers of your choice

and cut it two 2 pieces of 5,5 inch by 8,5 inch.

I love the one paper with the end, that I will be using for 

the backside of the wrapper.

Score both papers at the bottom at 3/4 inch.

If you like you can round of the top corners

of the wrapper with a corner punch.

Decorated the wrapper to your taste

or just leave the papers as is.

This is the template for the pocket on the front of

the wrapper. Use a contrasting color and decorate.

I used the absolutely fun washi tape that was in the box 

and the unmounted rubber stamps for decoration.

After stamping add adhesive tape on the outer part

of the pocket and glue to the wrapper.

At the bottom of the wrapper I made two slits on either

side of the fold to thread the organza ribbon for

closing the wrapper.

Here is the complete finished present all wrapped

up and the popcorn added in the pocket:

This is the backside of the wrapper.

Here I added a star and a filmstrip

with the use of some of the UM stamps

and a punch to make the filmstrip.

So what is a gift without a card?

If you do not have popcorn available, you

could use the front pocket for your card!

The card is made with one of the panels

that was left over after cutting the 12x12 paper.

Hope you like the dvd gift wrap idea.

You can use it for any theme dvd

and even decorate the paper accordingly.

Now for more ideas hop over to Kay,

who always comes up with the most fantastic

ideas. I can't wait to see what she has in store for

us this time HERE.

And if you loose your way,you can always go to

the Club Scrap Create Blog

where you find the complete list of participants.

PS

I also have some Cinema! cards over at the

Technique Junkies Design Blog HERE

Thanks very much for stopping by

and have a creative day!

Nog een verpakking/ Another wrapping

Hier nog een leuk soort tasje om snoep in te verpakken.

Here another nice bag to wrap your candy in. Wat heb je nodig: papier, nestabillities (scallop en circle), stempels naar keuze, stempelinkt, embossing poeder, lintje, lijm, schaar, pons voor de opening voor het lint (kan ook een cirkel zijn).

What do you need? Paper, nestabillities (scallop and circle), stamps of your choice, stamppad, embossing powder, ribbon, scissors, punch for hole for ribbon ( can also be a circle).

Dit moet je doen:

1. Gebruik je scallop nestabillity als hier boven. Laat een rechte kant aan de onderkant. 2x.

2. Gebruik de cirkel nestabillity om uit een bijpassend papier een cirkel te snijden. Je kunt dit nog matten met een zwarte cirkel.

3. Snij een rechthoekige strook van 7 x 21 cm. Vouw deze strook op 8 en 5 cm.

4. Stempel de cirkel stempel van Michael Strong met versamark en emboss met witte embossing poeder

5. Stempel je andere stempels met zwarte inkt. ik heb een heksje en tag van Stampin'Up! gebruikt.

This is what you do:

1. Use your scallop nestabillity as above (leave a straight site at the bottom). 2x.

2. Use your circle to cut a piece of fitting paper (can be matted on a piece of black).

3. Cut a rectagular piece of orange 2 3/4" x 8 1/4". Fold this at 3 " and 5 1/4".

4. Stamp Michael Strong circle with versamark and emboss with white embossing powder. Cut with scissor.

5, stamp your stamps with black ink. I used the witch and tag stamp by Stampin'Up!.

Kijk nu naar het plaatje om te zien hoe je alles bijelkaar moet plakken. Vergeet niet een gaatje te maken voor het lintje, dat het zakje bijelkaar houdt.

Assemble everything as you see on the picture. Don't forget to make a hole for the ribbon that holds the bag together.
